Today, we honor the strength, dedication, and resilience of every Filipino worker, especially sa atong mga Davsuranona—the true driving force of our province, and our nation as a whole.

Earlier, I had the privilege of attending the 2026 Labor Day Job Fair at Gaisano Grand Mall in Digos City, where countless opportunities were opened for our job seekers. It is always inspiring to witness our fellow Davsuranons take bold steps toward a better future, connecting directly with employers and securing meaningful employment.

The event reflects our continued commitment to bring government services closer to the people and to create more avenues for sustainable livelihoods.
Together, let us keep building a stronger workforce and a more progressive Davao del Sur.

A productive and forward-looking discussion marked the courtesy visit of Regional Director Rhuelo D. Aradanas, PhD, together with the officials and personnel of DSWD Field Office XI, as we aligned our efforts to further strengthen programs and services for the people of Davao del Sur.

Anchored on our shared commitment to genuine public service, we tackled key initiatives that will enhance community welfare. This engagement reaffirms my steadfast dedication to work closely with our national agencies in building a more responsive, and progressive Davao del Sur for all.

I warmly welcomed Tarhata S. Mapandi, CESO III (Regional Director), Mohaisen R. Manalao, REB, MAED (Provincial Director), together with Grace B. Florentino (School Administrator), during their courtesy call as we strengthened our collaboration between Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) and my office.

Our discussion focused on programs and initiatives that will further expand skills training and livelihood opportunities for the people of Davao del Sur.
